Work On the cemetery fence still
progresses by degrees. Three strands of

soreness en- the skin, but it is very pain
full for him to talk or move his tongue in
any way. He is so reduced in flesh and
strength that he cannot walk.

carried before a justice for burglary, and

MOMUS.

King Momus was holding high
carnival in the Crescent City last
week. Mardi Gras is always a sea-
son of rejoicing; but this year the
subject selected was the Myths of
the New World. The subject was
divided into fifteen beautiful tab
bleaux. The procession consisted of
fifteen beautifully decorated cars.
The first car represented the ruined
temples of Iucatan. After this
came the King, representing the
Great Spirit of the Indians. Then
followed the Happy Hunting
Grounds the great magician Megis-
sogivon, the South Wind came next;
NeracOcha and her four sons arising
from the flood. Montazuma the
Aztec monarch was the subject of
the next tableau. Then followed
the principal characters Of Aztec
mythology. The pageant was the
most magnificent that ever parad-
ed the streets of New Orleans. At
8 o'clock P. NJ King Menus and his
merry men entered the opera house,
mingled on the floor with their
guests, each selecting his lady, and
the great ball of the season was COM
menccd.
